APRIL 29--With Hillary Clinton standing at his side, North Carolina Governor Mike Easley today described the Democratic presidential candidate as so tough that she "makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy."

Is this offensive to homosexual democrats? If a conservative used the same words, would it be offensive?
Yeah, pansy is considered a sexual slur against gay men. It doesn't matter that it also means a flower. ****** also means cigarettes or a bundle of sticks, so I guess it's okay to call people too by that logic.



I remeber the gay community going after a radio host who used pansy offensively. There will probably be some denouncing of Hillary and her supporter here, and at the very least she was loose some of the gay vote.
Reply:well the way i see it she is very tough

unlike obama who went to his corner and cried like a baby after 1 debate that wasnt pre screened and caught him off guard

Hillary after 20 debates has stood up and faught

she has spent the last year campaigning her beliefs while he has said nothing but change and no one knows what that is

and im not voting either one

im voting McCain so listen to an outsider who sees whats going on
Reply:Not sure what you are getting at..I don't associate the word "pansy" with homosexuals..homosexual refers to ones sexual preferance..beyond that--its sterotypes..I would'nt be offended.
